Is it just that service itself, or some software and/or hardware combination?? It is that service plus the G15 keyboard when it is connected from when you boot up. If the keyboard is disconnected at any point (either physically, or by logging in via remote desktop, since that seems to disable the …

Thanks again for all of your help. The problem is now fixed by disabling the PDVDServ.exe process, which I had missed and wouldn't have figured out, but luckily gdeter caught it: DosBox slow for me Dosbox is all kinds of great, and now it's perfect.

I had the exact same problem (and it looks like I posted about it one day before you did), and I bet it's related to your G15 keyboard. 1) Try using dxdiag and disabling all ddraw acceleration.

So, I've searched the forums for this problem, and googled for it, and have had no luck, so I am posting. I'm going to detail my system and the problems in the hope that it will be a ton of unnecessary work when someone says "well duh, just do that to fix it" and it will be done. The problem: Every …
